Automatic levelling

After switching on, the measuring tool checks the horizontal and vertical position and automatically levels out any unevenness within the self-levelling range of approx. ±8 % (±4.6°).

During levelling, the X-axis (7) and Y-axis (6) status indicators flash green and the laser flashes in point operation.

The measuring tool is levelled as soon as the X-axis (7) and Y‑axis (6) status displays light up green continuously and the laser lights up continuously. After levelling is completed, the measuring tool automatically starts in rotational operation.

When the measuring tool is out-of-level by more than 8 % after switching it on or after a position change, levelling in is no longer possible. If this is the case, the X-axis (7) and Y-axis (6) status indicators will flash red, the rotor will be stopped and the laser will be switched off.
Switch the measuring tool off, position it as level (horizontal position) or perpendicular as possible (vertical position) and switch it on again.

When the measuring tool is levelled in, it continuously checks the horizontal and vertical position. Re-levelling is automatically performed if there are any position changes.

Minimal position changes are levelled out without interrupting the operation. This automatically compensates subsoil ground vibrations or weather influences.

For larger position changes, the rotation of the laser beam will be stopped and the laser beam will be stopped in order to avoid incorrect measurements during the levelling process. The X-axis (7) and Y‑axis (6) status indicators will flash green. The shock-warning function will be actuated, if required.

The measuring tool will automatically detect the horizontal or vertical position. To change between the horizontal and the vertical position, switch the measuring tool off, reposition it and switch it on again.

The measuring tool has a shock-warning function. After position changes or shock to the measuring tool, or in case of ground vibrations, it keeps the measuring tool from levelling in at changed positions, and thus prevents errors caused by a change in the measuring tool's position.

Activating the shock warning: The shock-warning function is switched on by default. It is activated approximately one minute after the measuring tool has been switched on.

Shock warning actuated: If the position of the measuring tool is changed or a severe knock is registered, the shock warning will be actuated. The laser will stop rotating and the laser beams will flash. At the same time, the shock-warning indicator (13) and the X-axis (7) and Y‑axis (6) status indicators will flash red. The current operating mode is stored.

When the shock-warning function has actuated, briefly press the on/off button (3). The shock-warning function is restarted and the measuring tool starts the levelling. As soon as the measuring tool is levelled (the X‑axis (7) and Y‑axis (6) status indicators will light up continuously), it will start up in the saved operating mode.

Now check the position ‌of the laser beam at a reference point and, if necessary, correct the height or alignment of the measuring tool.

Switching off the shock-warning function: To switch the shock-warning function off or on, briefly press the on/off button (3) once or, when the shock warning has actuated (shock-warning indicator (13) flashes red), twice. When the shock-warning function is switched off, the shock-warning indicator (13) will light up red continuously.

If the shock-warning function has been switched on, it will be activated after approximately one minute.

Note: The shock-warning function cannot be switched on or off or restarted with the remote control.
